Tennessee Gives Kellie Harper One Year Contract Extension

Tennessee has given Lady Vols coach Kellie Harper a one year extension. It puts her under contract through the 2027-28 season. Details were not released, but Harper makes a million-a-year. Last year the Lady Vols won 25 games. The most since 2015.

“Including her tenure at Missouri State, Kellie has guided her teams to three of the past four NCAA Sweet 16s,” Tennessee athletic director Danny White said in a statement. “She’s among an elite group of coaches in achieving that, and it didn’t happen by accident. The Lady Vols have a strong program culture, visible player development, a commitment to excellence and intentional leadership in place, and I look forward to watching our program continue to rise under her leadership.”

“I couldn’t be more thankful for the belief and trust Danny and Tennessee have placed in me and my staff to lead the Lady Vol program where we all want to go,” Harper added. “The journey to the top isn’t easy, but I’m really proud of the investment our players have displayed in pursuing our goals and fighting through some adversity along the way.”
